Any governor that signs a bill rolling back a recent democratically passed voter initiative should be automatically trigger a recall election at the very least.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

What kind of a cunt do you have to be to fucking repeal a law that gives paid sick leave
A cunt who is getting crazy kickbacks from the Chamber of Commerce.
Business groups lobbied heavily to overturn the measure passed by 58% of voters, arguing it would cost jobs. The bill also repeals annual inflation adjustments for the minimum wage, in effect since 2006.
The action followed a pattern established over the past 15 years where conservative Republicans have used their majorities in the legislature to roll back or repeal measures that became law through initiatives pushed to the ballot by progressive groups.
...
In a news release Thursday, Kara Corches, president and CEO of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry, called the mandated paid sick leave a “job killer.”
“Missouri employers value their employees and recognize the importance of offering competitive wages and benefits, but one-size-fits-all mandates threaten growth,” Corches said in the release.
...
The action on sick leave is similar to a bill in 2011 weakening provisions of a ballot measure from 2010 called the “Puppy Mill Cruelty and Prevention Act,” that specified appropriate living conditions for breeding operations and including action this year to overturn the abortion rights amendment approved in November.
Incidentally, Missouri's abysmal animal rights laws had, up until that ballot measure passed, made it the national leader in breeding (and killing of surplus) designer puppies.
Is there anything stopping these people from taking the money and saying oops sorry?
It's hardly a one-time thing. Kehoe came up through a rich Catholic School, owned an auto dealership, became a bagman within the State Senate, and eventually climbed up to the governor's mansion by iteratively taking bribes and doing favors over the last 30 years.
Where do you think he raised the $13M war chest to run for governor in the first place? He'll never stop supporting these reactionaries because he never wants them to stop shoveling money into his pockets. And if he wants to continue climbing? (And every governor secretly has an eye on the White House) He's going to need those millions to become billions. That means he's got to prove his loyalty. Go above and beyond. Really stand out as the kind of guy who will shove a few thousand babies into a wood chipper if his bosses demand it of him.
What a piece of shit.
At first I thought this was a picture of the Missouri Governor and thought.. Is that a Black Republican? JFC! How stupid must you be?
Byron Donald's, Wesley Hunt, John James, Burgess Owens, and Tim Scott are current black Republican members of Congress.
What a piece of shit
And you get what you vote for.
Well we voted for sick leave so that isn't true.
She is signing a bill that the people you as a whole elected. You see I live in WNC and here we got Tim Moore. I did not vote for his Sméagol looking ass but as a whole District 14 did so here I am living with my shitty neighbors choice just as you are.
Voters passed Paid Sick Leave, no matter who they voted for for representation that year or years past. Direct voting legislation shouldn't be overturned so flippantly.
The fact that it's possible is completely fucked up by itself.
DONT worry! Republicans are KNOWN to Vote Out ANYBODY that so Blatantly SCREWS THEM OVER! I'm SURE that if Missourians are Upset they'll make it KNOWN Next Election by NOT electing anybody Associated with this nonsense!
We just can't trust these slaves
